[PATCH 2/2] of: overlay: avoid potential null pointer exception

[Michael Riesch]

The function of_overlay_fix_path returns NULL in certain error cases but
of_overlay_apply_symbols (which is the only caller) does not check the
return value. For broken overlays this may result in a null pointer
exception. Fix this by checking the return value and inform the user
what exactly went wrong.
